Pros

FDM group cooperate with famous banks around world. If you want to join a well-known investing bank but less opportunities, then FDM is a good choice.

Cons

After replacing to the bank, you will work as a contract and has little connections with FDM.

Pros

Your not unemployed Many companies we got placed with were so unimpressed by FDM and the support they provided to grads they tended to sympathise with us and motivated us to leave FDM

Cons

The process is so draining no pay till you get on site and your not even guaranteed a role in your stream. I came in on one stream and got placed as a business analyst because the account manager literally lied to a bunch of us just to get us on site HR was non-existent. No career progression. Not worth it, regret the whole experience. everyone I know left as soon as they finished their second year and we all were all so relieved to get out.

FDM Group Response

I’m very sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience with FDM and especially that you didn’t feel supported throughout your journey. We have several initiatives set up to support our people including consultant peer support, mentoring, relationship managers and access to a large library of online training resources, as well as HR . Clearly, the support available wasn’t something you were aware of and this is something I want to investigate further. With regards to the role you were placed in, during the training you receive at the academy you will be taught to have a broad skill set and equipped with many transferable skills. We want to provide as many options to our people as possible and so when an opportunity arises that they may be suitable for, they will be given that chance to interview with the client. Honesty and transparency is something we value highly and I am very concerned that you feel you’ve been lied to. I appreciate that you have now left FDM but there are many points you raise in your review that I would like the opportunity to discuss in more detail with you. If you are happy to have this discussion with me please email me at andy.brown@fdmgroup.com

Pros

Interview process is almost normal depends on the potential clients as well. Taking courses are good experience if you are weak in OOP and RDBM.

Cons

2 years commitment to FDM is worst part and there is no way to get out of it! They pay minimum wage as long as you find a job which it may takes up to 6 months.
